🚨 Fresh off! Please check out our recent paper on #Wolbachia #phageWO proteins messing with sperm lncRNA and DNA integrity to eventually kill embryos. #TAGC24 @GeneticsGSA drop by my poster (P1266T) tonight to learn more about this work.

Prophage proteins alter long noncoding RNA and DNA of developing sperm to induce a paternal-effect...

Wolbachia prophage manipulates sperm noncoding RNA and DNA vital for chromatin integrity and offers potential leads for vector control.

Viruses communicate with each other to decide whether to kill or just to infect their hosts.

Do you speak virus? Phages caught sending chemical messages

Nature - A virus that infects bacteria listens to messages from its relatives when deciding how to attack its hosts.

As they say - Persistent can be the key to success (of CI, in👇 case). New pub 🚨 from the lab!

Cif genes lethal to insects may be used to control insect vectors/pests because their activity is resilient to a warming climate and aging. @marinebioBella with @KaurTweets @Britt_3Phage and Kelly Needles have a new pub in preprint #Wolbachia #phageWO

As an immigrant, I feel blessed workin in a lab full of US citizens, whr they discuss such sensitive issues n try to come up wd potential solutions (unless hands are tied). Just today only, thanks @JediShropshire for checking on me if I'm doing ok wd my visa status🤗 #VisaBan

Do US citizens understand how stressful it is to be an immigrant scientist in the US? Far from family/friends, never ending visa bureaucracy & payments, constant fear of not being allowed back in the US, or being forced to leave your home/job/PhD due to some ban

Woah! Sick epigenetics revolving around RNA and genome integrity right there!

Lifelong persistence of nuclear RNAs in the mouse brain

Genomic DNA that resides in the nuclei of mammalian neurons can be as old as the organism itself. The life span of nuclear RNAs, which are critical for proper chromatin architecture and transcription...

@WolbDutra @Symbionticism @Krisss_Crosss FISH rRNA probes are a great alternative too. I used Stellaris probes targeting 16S-23S rRNA of Wolbachia during my PhD work and worked like a charm in nearly all of the Dros tissues tested. Example below.

@Symbionticism Indeed, there can be sperm competition and females can actually control the offspring paternity. It’s fascinating! How common depends on mosquito species. But exceptionally, earwigs can have even 10 spermatheca 🤯

I am recruiting a postdoc to study the function of a #malekilling gene candidate associated with #phageWO in #Wolbachia symbionts. The candidate will have demonstrated curiosity, training, independence, and passion in the scholarship. Drosophila expertise is preferred.
